AMOS N' ANDY RADIO CAST: FREEMAN GOSDEN & CHARLES CORRELL.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To/Joyce & Ken Browne/With Kindest
personal/regards/Sincerely/Amos/(F. J. Gosden"" and "'n' Andy/(C J
Correll)'". B/w, 8x10. Amos n' Andy, originally titled Sam
n' Henry, debuted on Chicago's WGN on January 12, 1926. The comedy show
switched over to WMAQ on March 19, 1928. Although the title characters were
played by white men, the storyline was about two Atlanta Black men who came to
Chicago to find their fortunes. Amos n' Andy premiered on the NBC
radio network on Thursday night, August 19, 1929 at 11:00 P.M. EST. The show was
broadcast an unprecedented six days a week. It was so popular that it was moved
to 7:00 P.M. EST to reach a broader audience. There were protests on the west
coast because it would be aired there at 4 P.M. so, for the first time in radio
history, NBC did a repeat broadcast for its west coast affiliates. Amos n'
Andy hit its peak of popularity in the 1930s, but despite criticism that it
perpetuated negative stereotypes about African-Americans, the show remained on
radio until 1958. Light corner creases. Otherwise, fine condition.
